Resumen
ROVIRA MORGADO, ROSSEND. "Places to Lie and Say Profane and Illicit Things" The Momoztli as Sites of Indigenous Marginality 16th-Century Mexico City. Front. hist. [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.2, pp.8-38. ISSN 2027-4688. https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.592.
This paper focuses on elucidating the residual remains of several Pre-Columbian buildings in Mexico City throughout the decades that followed the conquest in 1521. During the entire 16th-century, a limited number of ancient, little-sized altars and street platforms -located at certain public areas of the urban indigenous communities- were re-signified to be mentideros, whose adjacencies promptly developed into subalternity and criminality commonplaces. By preliminarily collecting a wide range of archival, pictographic, toponymic, and documentary data on the issue, the paper attempts to enlighten how these momoztli/mentideros interfered both in the Post-Conquest mexica early societal transformation and in the intermittent jurisdictional clashes that occurred among Indians and Spaniards in the city.
